Hi Everyone....Wishing you all a wonderful last week in 2009....I can't believe how quickly time has flown by this year....and it has been a wonderful year....This week I will take some time to reflect on the year and see what I am most proud of....see what I would have changed or things I wanted to do but never had the time to ....I think taking the time to look at the past always helps us with our goals for the future.....I know one thing is for sure...I feel very blessed to have made so many wonderful friends through my blogging....sharing my art with you all over this last year has really inspired me and filled my heart....so thank you so much for your friendships and your kind words of encouragement and your feedback...I have grown as an artist because of you all...and I thank you from the heart.....

I hope that you enjoy these last few days of 2009 and reflect on the year with family and friends...

Happy 2010!!! and may you all be blessed with Health, Happiness and much success in the coming year.....

Such a juxtaposition of art style and texture, Diane.

Your reflections piece is very touching. I find such wisdom in this post. Hoping for wonderful things for you and yours in this new year.

Diana, Happy New Year! You my dear, shall remain my sweetest, dearest Canadian blogger friend who I consider one among the first blog friends I have met. You have been a true sisterfriend from the very start. I appreciate your support, your sense of humor, your inspiration and your encouragement. I have enjoyed following your art journey and watching young handsome and brave Cole grow up. I will always think of you as my sisterfriends. Happy new year!
